Which Polysynth? OB6 vs Prophet 6 vs Juno?

<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Hi there. I’ve seen many posts like this but since I am not in an area where I can try out these synths for myself, so here we are! </p> <p>I’m less concerned what is a “better” synth engineering wise and more so what would work better for my own needs and music style. I have about $3,000 saved and would like whatever synth to be in that range or less. </p> <p>My gear so far — Roland SH09 / Korg Minilogue / Elektron Digitakt / Arturia Keystep.</p> <p>I’d like a polysynth that would mix well with all of these or could potentially replace the Minilogue. My music style leans heavily towards dark 80s electropop, layered with heavy guitar + dreamy vocals. I also dabble in experimental ambient / melodic techno. I’m primarily a guitar player so will probably rely heavily on sequences, arps, pads and am looking for a synth that can produce lush sounds without too much menu diving. One that I will sequence live but probably won’t actually play that much...which is why I’m leaning towards a module. The OB6 + Prophet 6 seemed like obvious winners, but am having trouble deciding based on youtube comparisons. I prefer analog “vintage” sounds in general though. I’m a huge fan of the Juno 60, which fits well with my style but I want something a bit more updated. I’m not opposed to still buying it if someone can convince me otherwise. </p> <p>Thank you for reading — I appreciate any / all suggestions! </p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/lizjperl"> /u/lizjperl </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/a3iajy/which_polysynth_ob6_vs_prophet_6_vs_juno/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/a3iajy/which_polysynth_ob6_vs_prophet_6_vs_juno/">[comments]</a></span>
